At a Glance

The word. A urine described as a secret remedy for jaundice.

A place to read. The historical definition below, 1650 dictionary, unnumbered definition page 40; facsimile PDF page 368.

Historical Definition

Rebisola is a secret urine against jaundice.

Meaning

Secret qualifies the historical remedy. The sentence names its material and attributed purpose while leaving its preparation unexplained. Against jaundice records the compiler’s therapeutic claim.

Use in the Book

Compare Vrina vini, where urine appears in one of two different identifications. These brief definitions do not establish that all occurrences of urine refer to the same preparation.

Places to Read

Vrina vini. A wine-qualified name with vinegar and bodily senses.

In This Edition

The obscure headword is retained. The entry’s therapeutic purpose is reported historically; no ingredients or preparation have been added to fill the gap.
